We read a poem named, “Sweet and Low.” Seriously. But it was not about the fake type of sugar. (It was written before that was invented.) It was describing the western wind. I assure you, it was weird, but it was short at least.

Today we read about sad things in history. We read about the storming of Bastille and the rein of terror that followed. We also read about Catherine the great. She was really great. The guillotines of France were horrible. Sometimes when people get put in a position of power they get scared and accuse everyone around them of treason, it is sad.

TRUMP LIMITS TRAVEL ON CITIZENS OF 8 COUNTRIES TO THE US

by  • 

President of the United States Donald Trump put travel limits on the eight countries that did not succeed or try to meet minimum security requirements for the country’s citizens that might be terrorists given out by the US 50 days ago to every country in the world. They are Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. The restrictions we altered for each country based on their internal security.

“Frrreezing?” “Not Us Bugs!”

by  • 

According to bug experts, bugs will be moving into your home to escape the cold weather. So seal all those doors and windows if you don’t want to share your home for the winter. They say that they can also be castaways on furniture, groceries and so on. So you might want to shake out blankets and other things from the garage before you bring them inside. Termites however can not be prevented by closing windows and doors, so you should really have an expert check your house for them so your walls don’t crumble next time you go to paint. Waiting too long makes it harder for the exterminators to deal with it. Because of weather predictions we are expecting more mosquitoes. Lots of excess rainwater plus a warm winter means more baby mosquitoes are born later. Experts are expecting more bugs in houses overall this winter because of the amount of rain, which displaces many bugs looking to stake out the cold underground. So keep an eye out for bugs, they might be staying in your warm house!

Homeschool and Sick Journals 11/13-11/17/17

This week I was sick. It was not fun, I had a cold, a cough, a fever for some of it, and I missed most of parent observation week at ballet. I did some school though.

I think it must have been hard for Jesus to hang out with Judah all that time. He knew that Judah was going to betray Him, and that He was going to suffer from it. It must have been even harder the days before when He knew Judah was thinking about it, and when He made Judah a disciple. I mean, if I knew the future I might not have told Judah where I was going that night, I personally might have sent him on a loooooong errand that night until I was safe in hiding. Luckily, Jesus is not like me.

This is Thanksgiving break, but I am catching up in school. So I will be doing school on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I will also be doing school on Saturday. But I will not write a journal for that because we are doing Thanksgiving on Saturday.

School was hard. I had a test in math, I don’t understand cross multiplying. And I am very frustrated about it. I finished writing my letter to the editor, it was sort of fun. I learned about dialogue uses and formatting this week, it is useful, interesting, and fun.

Yesterday we got a package with presents from our grandparents. (On my mom’s side.) It was very nice of them to send us presents for no reason. I am going to write them a thank you letter. I got a really good book of all God’s promises for us. I also got a small shawl, or a very big scarf, depends on how you look at it. (Either way it is very fuzzy.)

I did two spelling days today. I had to spell cay, except it is pronounced key. It is really weird, I got it wrong. I had to spell quay earlier this week. It is also pronounced key.

I did Duolingo. Duolingo is my spanish. It is easier and fun, I like it and it doesn’t take very long. I leveled up today. I’m on level ten now!

I tried to figure out the very frustrating thing in math I had yesterday. I actually had it right. So I did all that work and was frustrated for nothing. Ohh well. At least I had it right. The rest of math was mostly ok.

In LA I had to write a dialogue between a character in a book I had read and myself. (Not my friend.) It was pretty fun but took a lot of time. I wrote it with me talking to JJ, a character in Captain Nobody. (One of my favorite books. I am about to reread it for the thousandth time.) The first couple times I read it, it was weird because we call my grandma on my dad’s side JJ.

We are doing thanksgiving today because mom had to work yesterday. I am also doing school today even though I didn’t yesterday. Which doesn’t really make sense. But I did. I did a math lesson. Which I really didn’t want to do, but I did it anyway. I am all ready for next week except for reading a book which I need to get from the library. So that was today.
